Started up a masterwork adventurer, a legion dwarf swordsman. Randomly got the name Takuth Slickgod, so I foresee some fun times with this dwarf.
To start the adventure off I went wandering between several legion fortresses to look for some metal armor. Two fortresses were bare bone establishments, with a couple guards and an empty building of statues, with no loot whatsoever. One of the forts surprised me; it had a local deity chilling out on the top floor, some sky giant or other pretending to be a god. He'd written two books, but nothing special, just a novel about a nearby forest and a documentary about the local legion dwarfs and their customs. I "borrowed" the book "The Forest of good Forever" to keep as a keepsake of my run-in with the deity. Maybe if I get really powerful I'll come overthrow the false idol.
The third fort had a jackpot of equipment: steel armor, steel mail armor, scaleplate and leather undergarments, various steel shields, swords, axes, even a couple steel picks. I imagine I'll be looting that fortress with any future adventurers, there's enough loot there for a long lineage of dudes.
After suiting up in full steel and arming myself with a steel zweihander and a shield, I set out with my axedwarf comrade, Stemel Searchbrimmed, whom I recruited from the starting town. She's interesting, when I met her she was already missing her left shin, and was crawling around on the ground. She refuses to use a crutch. I imagine she's leaning on the huge steel greataxe she's always wielding for support.
Went off on a quest to slay a giant lion, Searchbrimmed stole my kill. She may be missing a shin, but when she gets enraged she means business.
Wandered around a bit more, stopped by a cave and killed some giant beetles, got a quest to go to the local tower to kill a dwarven priest of evil. While heading out there we got ambushed by gargoyles and Searchbrimmed got decently beat up. She walked it off, but she dropped her greataxe in the fight and won't pick it back up. Currently stopping by the fort full of loot to drop off the greataxe before going on to the evil dwarven priest's tower.
Fun times all around.
